Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp salt
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 tsp spicy brown mustard (i used the original jack daniels old number 7 mustard)
  • 1 tsp dry rub seasonings (by preference, i used the mccormick sweet and smoky rub)

Directions:

  1. Combine salt, brown sugar, and water in a marinating container or gallon sized ziplock bag, and mix well.
  2. Place the pork tenderloin into the water, salt, and brown sugar mixture. Seal container, and let sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours (if using a marinating container, flip the tenderloin after 12 hours). Wait until the tenderloin has fully marinated before continuing.
  3. Heat grill. Charcoal grills are best for this recipe (and they're all I use). I used about a pound of Kingsford Mesquite Charcoal Briquettes. Place a pile of charcoal on one side of the grill, and let it heat there. This recipe relies on indirect heat. Alternatively, if you have a gas grill, you can use a smoker box with mesquite chips (prepare according to the directions on the package) - just light the side of the grill that you will not be cooking on. Make sure all flames are out on the briquettes, and the coals are glowing brightly. The cooking temperature should be about 200 degrees.
  4. Coat pork tenderloin with a light coating of mustard.
  5. Sprinkle dry rub mixture liberally onto the pork tenderloin, and pat it down. Make sure the entire tenderloin is coated.
  6. Place tenderloin onto the cool side of the grill (the side that is not lit / does not have direct heat). Indirect heat is the key.
  7. Close the vent on top of the grill and allow the pork tenderloin to smoke/cook for about an hour to an hour and a half. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the pork tenderloin and grill temperatures. The above time is just an average. Slower cooking yields a more tender and more flavorful end result.
  8. Once the tenderloin is finished cooking (to an internal temperature of about 170 degrees F.), remove from grill and slice into roughly 1/4 to 1/2 slices and serve.
